Optimize
Optimization doesn’t work unless it’s balanced
Optimizing for fuel savings or weather avoidance alone ignores other important cost factors.
Achieving total cost optimization requires having an up-to-date picture of airspace/airport conditions, knowing what your aircraft are physically capable of doing, and what actions are likely to be accepted by ATC.

Benefits
Flight Science incorporates a True Cost Index that accounts for relevant factors behind each optimization decision. Being fully cost-based ensures that recommendations are based on the real economic picture rather than an incomplete cost proxy.
Optimize compares thousands of route changes, direct-to, and altitude possibilities to find the lowest cost option while ensuring a safe margin from hazard areas.
Recommendations are automatically generated and sent to pilots via ACARS, copying OCC and station via Teams, email, SMS, or Type B.
Our physics-based algorithm and machine-learning model adjust by aircraft type, fleet configuration, and an airline’s specific flying characteristics, creating a learning process that improves airline performance over time, starting from day one.
